Cannot connect to printer. Printer spooler service is not running???

Q: When I try to print something off it says that I have to select a printer. For some reason my printer is no longer there and then when I type in Lexmark this comes up "Cannot connect to printer. Printer spooler service is not running" What does that mean and how do I fix it? Sorry, it says print spooler is not running not printer spooler is not running.

A: Warning: Disabling the wrong services can result in system instability and/or failure. Click Start, Click Run. Type in "services.msc", press Enter. Scroll down to "Print Spooler", right-click it, click "Properties". About half-way down, there's a pulldown bar which says "Startup Type:" Click it and choose "Automatic". Click "Start" above that. Click "OK". Close the "Services" window. You're all set :)
